I’m gonna need to change my name

Conversation with Number Three TWO SECONDS AGO: 

Mom, what does AANOAW spell?

What?

What does AANOAW spell?

That’s not a word.

Yes-huh!!  Look!! 

What?? I have no idea what that says..  Where are your spelling words??

Uh.. okay.. so it says to write the words and circle the OA and the OW in each word.   You see!!  You see how messy your handwriting is!!  You couldn’t even read YOUR OWN handwriting!! And you know why??  Because it is messy!!!

Really Mom?  You’re name is HOT MESS..  You practically have “messy” in your name.   {and yes…he used finger quotes}
